Product FAQ
What are the temperature control and alarm features?
The unit utilizes a microprocessor temperature controller (2°C to 10°C) with audible and visual high/low-temperature alarms, a door ajar alarm, and remote alarm contacts for facility monitoring integration.
How is temperature uniformity achieved?
It features a forced-draft air circulation system to maintain stability (+/- 1.0°C) and uniformity (+/- 1.6°C) throughout the 30 cu. ft. cabinet.
What are the installation requirements?
The refrigerator requires a minimum of 4 inches of clearance around the back and sides for proper ventilation. Improper installation can lead to temperature maintenance issues and void the warranty.
What is the warranty coverage?
It includes a two-year parts and labor warranty, plus a five-year compressor parts warranty.
Shipping FAQ
How is this refrigerator shipped?
Due to its weight (330 lbs product / 360 lbs shipping) and dimensions, this unit is shipped via LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight, secured on a pallet to ensure it arrives in optimal condition.
Do I need liftgate service?
Yes, liftgate service is mandatory unless your facility has a loading dock capable of receiving an 18-wheeler, as the unit must be safely lowered from the delivery vehicle to ground level.
What are the post-delivery setup steps?
To prevent damage to the compressor and ensure long-term stability, you must allow the unit to sit upright in its final location for at least 24 hours to let all fluids settle before powering it on.
